Some windows, like GtkWindow and some other apps, set a transparent
background. The guarantee for begin_paint_region is that there should
be a full clear to the specified background color, not a composite
against what was there before.
This fixes repaint artifacts in Wayland and Weston in a better way than

The resize grip code in GTK+ likes to call gdk_window_raise a lot. The
unfortunate side effect of gdk_window_raise is that it queues an
invalidation on the entire window, even if it's already the topmost
child.
Add a return value to gdk_window_raise_internal, and only queue the
invalidation if the raise had an effect.
Otherwise, a user that calls gdk_window_resize (window, 0, 0); over and
over won't properly fizzle out, and will queue a redraw. Clipped, but
still. These redraws can be chatty on some platforms like Wayland, and
there's no good reason to not avoid them.
This was the case for resize grips.
This reverts commit b875572f2a.
Apps like Abiword, gnumeric and gnome-chess, and toolkits like
ClutterGTK were all using this for various purposes, and this made them
break. Bring back this feature for now.
It still won't work under Wayland.
Apps had quite a bit of difficulty getting used to the new rules.
While we weren't expecting anything too deadly, it seemed that
gnumeric and Abiword both used gdk_cairo_create like this.
If a window both has an impl and its impl_window is of type offscreen,
that must mean that it is the offscreen window, and the impl window is
itself. We can reduce the indirection here and make it more clear.
We removed the parameter from callers and from the implementation, but
not from the signature up top. I didn't notice because the branch I was
working on removed the signature entirely.
This code is only called with the current paint region as its argument.
Instead of having to copy it and do a no-op intersect against itself,
just use the current paint directly.
cairo_surface_create_for_rectangle takes a ref on the parent surface,
so we need to drop ours.
Rename get_window_surface to ref_window_surface to make the code more
clear and to stop this error from happening again.
Previously, each begin_paint_region added to a stack of current paints,
and when end_paint was called, the paint was popped off of the stack and
the surface was composited into the parent paint surface.
However, the code was broken in the case of a backend like Wayland which
didn't keep track of nested calls and simply wiped and returned the
native impl backing surface every time.
Since this feature is flat out unused by GTK+ and we don't want to
really support tricksy things like these for other clients, just remove
the feature. If somebody does call begin_paint_region more than once,
warn and return without doing anything.
Traditionally, the way painting was done in GTK+ was with the
"expose-event" handler, where you'd use GDK methods to do drawing on
your surface. In GTK+ 2.24, we added cairo support with gdk_cairo_create,
so you could paint your graphics with cairo.
Since then, we've added client-side windows, double buffering, the paint
clock, and various other enhancements, and the modern way to do drawing
is to connect to the "draw" signal on GtkWidget, which hands you a
cairo_t. To do double-buffering, the cairo_t we hand you is actually on
a secret surface, not the actual backing store of the window, and when
the draw handler completes we blit it into the main backing store
atomically.
The code to do this is with the APIs gdk_window_begin_paint_region,
which creates the temporary surface, and gdk_window_end_paint which
blits it back into the backing store. GTK+'s implementation of the
"draw" signal uses these APIs.
We've always sort-of supported people calling gdk_cairo_create
"outside" of a begin_paint / end_paint like old times, but then you're
not getting the benefit of double-buffering, and it's harder for GDK to
optimize.
Additionally, newer backends like Mir and Wayland can't actually support
this model, since they're based on double-buffering and swapping buffers
at various points in time. If we hand you a random cairo_t, we have no
idea when is a good time to swap.
Remove support for this.
This is technically a GDK API break: a warning is added in cases where
gdk_cairo_create is called outside of a paint cycle, and the returned
surface is a dummy that won't ever be composited back onto the main
surface. Testing with complex applications like Ardour didn't produce
any warnings.
gtk_widget_set_double_buffered is now deprecated, and we don't support
non-double-buffered widgets. This means that under normal circumstances,
paints are never outside of a begin_paint / end_paint sequence, which
natively-double-buffered backends like Wayland can't possibly support.
When the pointer cursor is updated on CSW, lookup for either a device
cursor, or a global one. It would previously lookup for windows with
a global cursor, and then check if it had a device cursor, which would
skip windows with only device cursors set, and unexpectedly set the
global cursor.
This avoids a bunch of policy problems with deciding how to lay
out the window menu under different WMs.
For now, we use the special event _GTK_SHOW_WINDOW_MENU, but we
hope to have this standardized in wm-spec quite soon, as KDE wants
it as well.
Rendering doesn't do much about clipping drawing operations to the window shape,
although invalidation applies the shape to every window, leaving possibly trails
of "overrendered" content. So ensure the shape portions get invalidated too when
the window is moved/resized.

It seems that some backends implemented get_root_origin wrong
and returned the client window coordinates, not the frame window
coordinates. Since it's possible to implement generically for all
windows, let's do that instead of having a separate impl vfunc.
The point of GdkWindowImpl::get_root_coords is to translate the passed
in coordinates against the passed-in impl window. For a child window,
in fact, window->abs_x and window->abs_y already track the child
window's coordinates against the impl window.
If we pass in a child window, and backends don't explicitly get the impl
window from it, we'll double-count the child window.
Really, we should *always* be passing impl windows to backends, and
never child windows. However, I'm a bit worried for regressions late
in the cycle if we want to fix up the rest of the callers, like
gdk_window_get_geometry, so I'm only going to touch get_root_coords
for now after careful review of all the backends.
Instead of destroying the surface in the backend if this is
unable to resize, let the core code do it, and do it properly.
